Comments in Python
Comments in Python can be used to explain parts of the code. It can also be used to hide
the code as well. Comments enable us to understand the way a program works. In Python,
any statement starting with # symbol is known as a comment. Python does not execute
comments. Comments are not a part of the program, but they do enhance the interactivity 137
of the program and make it readable. Python supports two types of comments: Single-line
comment and Multiline comment.
Single Line Comment
In case, a user wants to specify a single-line comment, then comment must start with the
symbol #. Example:
Program: Output:
# printing a string Hello World
print("Hello world")
Multiple-line Comment
Python does not have a syntax for multiline comments. To add a multiple line comment, you
could insert a # for each line. Example:
Program: Output:
# printing a string Hello World
#print five names Rachna
print("Hello World") Sambhav
print("Rachna") Akshat
print("Sambhav") Tushar
print("Akshat")
print("Tushar")
